Hut site in Mangerton

In rough pasture, on a ridge, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE085-003009-). The remains of an oval hut site (5.3m E-W; 3.6m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m). The W portion of the interior is cut slightly to create a level interior. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.5m) at S. A relict wall from the network of field walls abuts the N arc of the hut site externally. There is another hut site (KE085-003010-) 2m to the E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
